• <Version 1.1> 2012.03.16 - Made it automatic
• <Version 1.0> 2012.03.11 - Original Release

---

This script allows you to show a window at the top of the screen with any items you identify. Unlike a text box, the window will not prevent the player from moving or engaging with other events. The purpose of the script is to allow you to show when a player finds items without having to pause the gameplay.

Depending on whether a switch you specify is OFF or ON, the window can be set to either show automatically whenever the party gains a new item, weapon, armor, or gold through event commands, or you can make it so that you can only show it manually.

• Allows you to show the player what was received without interrupting gameplay
• Can show any items gained or lost through events automatically or manually
• Can use a special code to show an icon with any text, allowing you to use the script to show more than just items
• Graphically customizable

Paste this script into its own slot in the Script Editor, above Main but below Materials.

For instructions on use and configuration, see the header of the script, as well as the comments in the Editable Region.

Note especially line 101, where you set the switch which turns manual mode ON or OFF. Remember, you set that to an integer, and it is then an in-game switch with that ID which controls it. If that switch is OFF, then the window will show automatically whenever you gain or lose items or gold through event commands. If that switch is ON, then the only way to call the window is manually, through a call script.

#    Receipt Window
#    Version: 1.1
#    Author: modern algebra (rmrk.net)
#    Date: March 16, 2012
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#  Description:
#   
#    This script allows you to show a window at the top of the screen with any
#   items you identify. Unlike a text box, the window will not prevent the
#   player from moving or engaging with other events. The purpose of the script
#   is to allow you to show when a player finds items without having to pause
#   the gameplay. It can be set to work automatically whenever items are gained
#   or lost through event commands on the map, or you can show things manually.
#   You control whether it is automatic or manual by an in-game switch of your
#   choice.
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#  Instructions:
#   
#    Paste this script into its own slot in the Script Editor, above Main but
#   below Materials.
#
#    There are a number of configuration options for this script. See the
#   Editable Region starting at line 94 for instructions on those and what
#   each option does.
#
#    This script can be set to show the window automatically or manually
#   through the operation of a switch. You choose which switch by setting the
#   ID of your choice at line 101.
#
#    Alternatively, the window can be set manually to show items of your
#   choice (whether switch is on or not) with the following command:
#     
#        show_item_receipt(label, item_1, item_2, ..., item_n)
#
#    label  - this should be a string, and if added it will take up the entire
#      first line of the window. Message codes are recognized, but if you use
#      double quotes (" "), then you will need to use two backslashes before
#      special codes instead of one. In other words, it is \\c[16], not \c[16].
#      This can be excluded, in which case it will use the default label set at
#      line 102.
#    item_n - These are the items to show in the window, and you put as many of
#      them as you want in the window. These can be either RPG::BaseItem
#      objects, like $data_items[n] (Item n in the Database) or you can use
#      arrays to hold them. The format for those arrays are any of the
#      following, where id is the ID of the item, weapon, or armor; and n is
#      the amount:
#          [:I, id, n]         -> Item
#          [:W, id, n]         -> Weapon
#          [:A, id, n]         -> Armor
#          [:G, n]             -> Gold
#          [:S, icon, text, n] -> Special : icon = icon_index; text = "string"
#
#    Since there are space limitations in the script field, it is recommended
#   that you set each of the items to short local variables. See the example.
#
#  EXAMPLE:
#
#    The following is placed in the Script event command.
#
#      lab  = "\\c[16]You Received:\\c[0]"
#      i1 = $data_items[5]
#      i2 = [:A, 7]
#      i3 = [:W, 4, 2]
#      i4 = [:S, 217, "Lamp"]
#      i5 = [:S, 13, "", 200]
#      show_item_receipt(lab, i1, i2, i3, i4, i5)
#
#  That would show up as:
#
#    You received:
#    [] Item 5        [] Armor 7
#    [] Weapon 4  +2  [] Lamp
#    []         2000
#
#  The [] are icons, and Item 5, Armor 7, & Weapon 4 would show up as the names
#  of those items.
#
#    Finally, you can use the following code to manually add extra items to the
#   window. If in the same frame, it will show up with the most recently added
#   items. Use the following code:
#
#        add_to_receipt(item_1, item_2, ..., item_n)
#
#    where item_1 ... item_n are the same as described at line 42.

Please post in this thread at RMRK if you encounter any errors or incompatibilities. Also, if you have any questions about this script or suggestions, then please also post in this topic, no matter how old the topic is. Do not send me a personal message.


None currently known.

Why aren't you proud of this script?

To make it more user friendly, you could setup a queue system and have it update in the Graphics module. Then you alias the add_item/weapon/armor methods in Game_Party and have it add a "notification" to a global queue stored in Game_System possibly. I used this method in my achievements script which was how I was able to make achievements not only global (as in every single scene, it'd show up) but also automatic. Other than the fact that achievements could only be gained through a script call. >_>
module Graphics
  class << self
    alias gg_upd_awards_queue_lat update
  end
  def self.update
    @frame = 0 if @frame == nil
    if $game_system != nil && $game_system.queue.size > 0 && @frame < 1
      award = Awards::Award[$game_system.queue[0]]
      if award != nil
        @sprite = Sprite_Award.new(award)
        @frame = Awards::Popup_Time
        Audio.se_play("Audio/SE/#{Awards::Popup_Sound[0]}",
          Awards::Popup_Sound[1], Awards::Popup_Sound[2])
      end
    end
    if @frame > 0
      @frame -= 1
      if @frame < 1
        @sprite.dispose
        $game_system.queue.shift
      end
    end
    gg_upd_awards_queue_lat
  end
end
Though this system would pop 1 item up at a time, rather than X. But this would make it so users wouldn't make to make a script call everytime they added an item.

@Irock - Mostly just because I took shortcuts which reduce functionality and configurability without any reason except my own convenience.

So, for instance, I didn't add an option to have the window pop up over the player's head because I didn't want to deal with having to move the window around if the player was near the edge of the screen and moving towards the map edges.

Also, I didn't add an option to show how many of each item is obtained in the [:I/:W/:A] shortcut codes, which means that a person who wants to show getting more than one item has to use the [:S] codes and manually choose icon and name, which is inconvenient and removes some customizability - for instance, it would be difficult to make it so that the amounts were right-aligned.

So the script has shortcoming for which there is no reason except pure laziness. It wouldn't even be hard to rectify either of those issues. That's why I'm not proud of it.

@game_guy - I thought about doing it automatically with a queue, but I decided against it because I can imagine situations where the user might not want to display when some items are gained. Additionally, it better allows for changing the label to reflect particular situations and the custom popups would still need to be added manually. That reasoning also resonated well with the aforementioned laziness.

However, you're right that in the majority of situations, the script call will be a pain and the cases where the user will not want the message is likely the exception and not the rule (so it makes sense to reverse the default presumption and have a boolean determine when it will be shown automatically). Anyway, thanks for the suggestion; I will think more about whether to add it.

Even if I kept it as a script call, the queue might be a good idea for when another call is made while a previous window is still showing. Currently, I just made it so that it immediately pops up, deleting the first one. The queue would let it wait until the entire time is spent before closing and reopening to show the new ones.

If I did do it your way though, it wouldn't be restricted to popping them up one at a time since I could hold the queue until the next time the update method is called, and then show all the items that had been accumulated in that frame.

I don't think I would put it in Graphics, since this script wouldn't need it to be global. I didn't even put it in Scene_Battle since I thought that would be distracting in battle and it should be fairly rare that the player gets items in battle.

Alright, I decided to take game_guy's suggestion. Updated to 1.1

Aww, no thanks were needed. :3

Hey you have some really nice script ideas, I wanted to know if I could use this and Website Launch 1.0 in my commercial games??

Yes to both res1wfu. Sorry I forgot about your request for so long, though I guess I got back to you indirectly with regard to the Website Launch script.

Awesome script!

Though I noticed something when using the Item Receipt Script with your Item Ranks Script:

I setup some test weapons, and added them to rank 1. Then I made a dummy weapon to drop rank 1 weapons.
While the weapons are recieved correctly and randomly, the Item Receipt Window does not pop up.

The event I used for giving the weapons contains nothing more than: Give Weapon [Drop Rank 1 Weapons].

It seems there is a compatiblity issue here?

I have a question...I feel like I am missing something simple, but. I call the receipt window whenever changes are made to my player's quest log so they will know to check it. I would like the "NOTE:" text, along with the icon and the text "Quest Log Updated!" to be centered within the receipt window, rather than on the left. How might I do this?

That functionality is not built into the script, so you would need to modify the script itself.
